Azerbaijani servicemen violated, with their criminal acts, the rights of the residents of Tegh community of Syunik Province of the Republic of Armenia On July 19, 2021, Armenian Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote in his Facebook page.

“In particular, on the basis of complaints and reports, the fact-finding work of the RA Human Rights Defender has revealed that one of the residents of Tegh village had done agricultural work on July 19, 2021, between 10-10:30 in the morning, on the land owned by him and his family on ownership rights based on legal documents. In particular, he harvested grain with a combine.

When the combine operator finished the work in one of the border sections and was at a distance of about 150 meters from that place to the depths of the RA territory, he noticed that a number of Azerbaijani armed servicemen were approaching him. Approaching, the Azerbaijani servicemen threatened the resident of Tegh village with a weapon, shouted and dragged him, tried to mandatorily move him and the combine toward their positions.

The combine operator immediately called the head of the Tegh community. After that, thanks to the efforts of the community leader, the RA Armed Forces and the command staff of the local Russian border troops, the combine and the combine operator were returned to the Armenian side at around 16:30 on July 19.
